Re: [OM] Shutter shock, VF lag, E-M1 vs. E-M5?

If you don't have one of these for your E-M5 then get one ASAP.

It makes a huge difference to blocking side and rear light and is the 
first extra I bought for my E-M5.

And for E-M1 owners there is this one

But note the reviews.  Glasses wearers typically don't like them.  I 
only need reading glasses so compensate with the viewfinder's dioptric 
correction.  Also, I've not had any problem with eyecups falling off or 
needing to be removed to use the clip-on flash as 2 reviewers say. (The 
flash comment is a total mystery to me.  One does have to push the top 
edge of the eyecup down a few mm to install or remove the flash but that 
is trivial)

  uses aftermarket teardrop eyecups on his OMs)
